    Is the FCC bribing "itself"? Or is the BIG money coming from, you know where! lol

    Ah those Gov't agencies, so easy to bribe, so easy to lobby; like giving candy to a baby.

    If anything, there should be regulation against what is going to become the monopolization of access and download speed that benefits those who would "eliminate" competition. Not good for the market but great for those who control the lines of communication.

    Good one! I remember seeing on the extras of my 7 seasons of DS9 that the creators always felt the Ferenghi more closely resembled humans than any other species on the show...

    Can't help but think some of us around here need to take control of a few bar stools somewhere for a Sunday afternoon. Now that would be fun...or crazy, depending how you look at it.

    Well, I'm sure the TWC/ Comcast merger won't have any ill effects:rolleyes:.
    And YES, they are big financial supporters of our current regime, so that merger is going through.
    I refuse to argue with idiots, because people can't tell the DIFFERENCE!
